Episode notes
Raids Are Political Theater
- ICE raids are largely performative, aimed at signaling toughness to a political base rather than hitting major workplaces.
- These showy city raids often yield few or no charges and distract from unmet policy promises.
Low Vetting, High Risk
- Critics argue ICE hires poorly screened and low-qualified recruits rather than elite operators.
- That personnel quality explains abusive tactics, mistakes, and public mistrust of immigration enforcement.
Anonymity Breeds Accountability Gaps
- Masked, militarized arrests erode public trust and risk detaining U.S. citizens without papers.
- Anonymity protects agents but opens the door to impersonation and abuse.
